Mike Flanagan is known for lovingly crafting dynamic characters, filling out some of modern-day horror's most terrifying films and T.V. shows.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Within the last ten years, Mike Flanagan has made a name for himself as one of the horror genre's most versatile filmmakers. Extending his influence from stand-alone hit thrillers to pulse-pounding Netflix series based on existing I.P., Flanagan has a knack for adaptation, bringing books from famed horror writers like Stephen King and Shirley Jackson to life with deft skill.
What makes Dani so special is her tender heart, genuinely caring for the Wingrave children and her newfound love, the estate's gardener, Jamie. Of course, such a caring soul couldn't escape a tragic fate in one of Flanagan's worlds, but her decision to knowingly take on her ultimate burden in defense of her loved ones makes her sacrifice a meaningful one.
6 Theo Crain The Haunting Of Hill House Telling the story of an estranged group of siblings brought together by the shared trauma of their childhood in a haunted house, Netflix's The Haunting Of Hill House is one of Flanagan's crowning achievements. Of the eclectic Crain siblings, a standout is the effortlessly cool Dr. Theodora "Theo" Crain, played by none other than Flanagan's own partner, Kate Siegel.
Father Paul Hill is more than a cartoonishly evil vampire hiding behind the veneer of a priest. He expresses real trepidation and regret behind his vile actions, justifying them anyway in a dangerous spiral of self-assured logic. What holds him back, however, is simply existing within the pages of the bulky, soliloquy-heavy script of Midnight Mass, demonstrating some of the most tedious of Flanagan's writing.
3 Eleanor "Nell" Crain The Haunting Of Hill House Close While The Haunting Of Hill House does a surprisingly astute job at navigating its large cast, giving each of the Crain siblings roughly equal screentime, Nell is unquestionably the closest thing the series has to a main character. The most affected by Hill House's evil influence, Nell's death is what initially brings her siblings together.
